2002 Coupes red/red: 108 each with automatic and 32 with manual transmissions. For a total of 140 with both transmissions.


And in contrast--only 2 of all the 2002 coupes, with manual transmissions, were made with red interior and Millennium Yellow exterior--the "Mickey D" edition!

Thanks, where did you get that information ?
I searched, but could not find, I only found that 411 Coupes were built with Red interior, but no info on exterior / interior numbers.


Thanks again

Beautiful car......I also have a 2001 double red coupe and really like that combo and get a lot of compliments on it.
Would you mind sharing what products you use on the interior especially the leather treatment?

Thanks,

I tend to love red and it harkens back to the iconic days of Corvette's with all red interiors.

Again there is nothing wrong with black if that's all you can afford.
The good thing about black is you can easily add red to it and it looks good...
